affyILM

A package to analyze oligonucleotide arrays (expression/SNP/tiling/exon) at probe-level. It currently supports Affymetrix (CEL files) and NimbleGen arrays (XYS files).

A generic three-step pre-processing package for protein microarray data. This package contains different data pre-processing procedures to allow comparison of their performance.These steps are background correction, the coefficient of variation (CV) based filtering, batch correction and normalization.

Methods for microarray analysis that take basic data types such as matrices and lists of vectors. These methods can be used standalone, be utilized in other packages, or be wrapped up in higher-level classes.

A package that extends and improves the functionality of the base affy package. Routines that make heavy use of compiled code for speed. Central focus is on implementation of methods for fitting probe-level models and tools using these models. PLM based quality assessment tools.

The package implements a method for normalising microarray intensities from single- and multiple-color arrays. It can also be used for data from other technologies, as long as they have similar format. The method uses a robust variant of the maximum-likelihood estimator for an additive-multiplicative error model and affine calibration. The model incorporates data calibration step (a.k.a. normalization), a model for the dependence of the variance on the mean intensity and a variance stabilizing data transformation. Differences between transformed intensities are analogous to "normalized log-ratios". However, in contrast to the latter, their variance is independent of the mean, and they are usually more sensitive and specific in detecting differential transcription.

This package facilitates reading, preprocessing and manipulating Codelink microarray data. The raw data must be exported as text file using the Codelink software.
